I will gladly dontate that to charity if I get the same write-up, platitudes, and acknowlegdments of being such a superior persion that the players are receiving for this.

Also, that $34,325 is only 1.6& of the $2.1 the team recieved. Going by the same logic, that would reduce my contribution to $40.86. But I’ll willingly round it up to $50, just to show what a great guy I am for all the free press I’ll get.

It was a nice gesture. But that’s all it was. Giving the equivalent of a night on the town doesn’t qualify anyone for sainthood. It just gets them a lot of free press.

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 04:06:22 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266737#comment-403950No. Assuming this example player is making the league minimum, you’re missing a zero on that 350 dollar bonus for the guy making 50,000. It’d be 3500, and that is a big of change. You’re bitter

And c’mon you killjoys, that is a lot of money. Those guys making 500k-2mil definitely dug deep, as they are paying 9% California income tax in addition to the 33% they’re already paying federal. I tell ya, its tough.

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:57:57 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266737#comment-403848YEAH BIG DEAL!!! I mean people that make over $400,000 are always volunteering to pay 4% more on all their income over $250,000!

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:18:15 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266737#comment-403820The league minimum is $500,000. I think they are fine with it.

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 20:51:12 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266737#comment-403761Big f’ing deal. This is the equivelant of someone making $50,000 a year donating their $350 bonus. And even that isn’t even comparable because the person making $50,000 needs that $350 for non luxurious day to day living expenses.
